About Support and Privacy

What is “Supporting”?
Supporting a Thunderclap campaign is like signing a petition but with the added power of simultaneously sharing a message. You and every other supporter are standing up for an idea with the power of your voice.

How do I support?
Choose between your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account to grant Thunderclap permission to post a message on your behalf. That’s it! If the campaign reaches its support goal by the deadline, Thunderclap will automatically post your message and all other supporters' messages at the same time.

A note on privacy
When you log into Thunderclap using your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account, you’re allowing our platform to share a single message on your behalf. That’s all. We use the absolute minimum permissions possible to post a message on your behalf. The platforms we integrate with sometimes include additional permissions that we do not use and we will not post anything from your friends' accounts.

As part of a long-running awareness campaign to be launched on
World Autism Awareness Day, in 2016 Autism-Europe will be focusing on the theme
“Respect, acceptance, Inclusion”.

In the campaign we ask you to take
a picture of yourselves passing a baton or holding the visual of the
campaign with friends/family or colleagues for inclusion and acceptance of
people with autism.

The 2016 campaign would like to
shift the focus from mere “awareness” to “acceptance” of autism in order to
promote further inclusion in society.

The idea is to convey a
positive and optimist message about autism. Also the campaign will foster
the social model of disability and have a strong rights-based approach,
recalling the rights enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of People
with Disability.

Autism-Europe aisbl is an international association whose main objective is to advance the rights of people with autism and their families and to help them improve their quality of life. Autism-Europe plays a key role in raising public awareness, and in influencing European decision-makers on all issues related to the rights of people with autism.
